easyJet has started using hydrogen-powered ground support vehicles for commercial flights at Bristol Airport, advancing efforts to decarbonize airport operations. The initiative is part of Project HEART and involves collaboration with technology partners to reduce emissions from ground activities.
easyJet has commenced commercial operations at Bristol Airport utilizing hydrogen-powered ground support equipment, marking a significant step in the airline's sustainability initiatives. The deployment includes hydrogen fuel cell baggage tugs and ground power units, developed in collaboration with the airport and several technology partners.
This initiative is part of the UK government-backed Project HEART (Hydrogen Electric and Automated Regional Transportation), which aims to reduce carbon emissions across airport operations. The hydrogen-powered vehicles are expected to cut local ground emissions and support the airport's broader decarbonization goals.
easyJet and Bristol Airport are working closely with manufacturers and infrastructure providers to ensure safe and efficient hydrogen refueling processes. The project will be monitored over the coming months to assess operational performance and inform future rollouts at other UK airports.
